Trump is getting away with it again, blaming Democrats for the

chaos and lack of preparation created by his own policies. I'm talking about how he blames the Democrats for the lack of funds to handle the overcrowded situations in his concentration camps. Why did we accept that without pushing back?

The reality is that Trump went on a no tolerance policy on immigration and created the overcrowding problem. He started a policy without taking the necessary steps to prepare for the problems that are now obvious and rampant. And he does this all the time.

No one is to blame, but himself. But he keeps getting away with it because his supporters think that blowing everything up is the answer to every issue that they disagree with. The question now is, how do we teach cause and effect to supporters who are suffering from mental dystopia when it comes to logic?

talking about busing. This is how Trump wins, he changes the subject. When we take our eyes off of the things that are really important, it's handing him a gift.

The answer to your last sentence is forget about it. So many posts and threads here that can be summed up in one sentence: "How do we get Trumpsters to see what's going on and do something about it?"

It's never gonna happen.

And the mushy middle is suffering from Trump Scandal Overload Syndrome. We need to stay focused on the positives that our eventual Democratic nominee is going to bring to this country. Besides, the mushy middle doesn't ever pay attention to politics until maybe the weekend before an election.

They're simply unreachable until then.
